The Ancient Endless Forest.

Once the center of peace and harmony... And now the forest, full of impure secrets.

But... Why?

No one knows... There is no good without bad, they say.

And it’s true.

Let me tell you a story... Of one of the secrets.

Ravly walked along the depths of The Forest. „Huhh... What a boring day...“ said the dragonish deer. And he sighed. But his voice was fake.
It’s body and antlers were of a deer, but the head and the tail were of a dragon.
His body was dark red with red underfur, the color of blood and love.
His eyes were brown, the color of a tree bark, but a dead one.
He had white fangs and a bandage around his muzzle, a fight between his dear friend, and he was betrayed. He will never forget that devastating day he killed his betrayer and had a mark for the rest of his life. A bandage.
The patch of grey fur on his forehead and muzzle means death.
And his small, but sharp antlers, quick to kill, and the color of black, decay, with marks of red, that of angry fire.

He doesn’t trust anyone anymore. And for a reason. Now his life is a struggle between hatred, love and fights, anger, sadness and tears.
Ravly’s look was fearsome. A look full of no innocence. But he has made his decisions. No damn person can change him.

He walked on small steps. Hard steps, full of thinking. Was it all real? This Forest? Maybe.

Rain started. Heavily it splatted on the earth. But Ravly didn’t make much difference of weathers.

As Ravly went deeper and deeper into The Endless Forest, he thought about his past. No need to cry about it, give or take it, thought Ravly. What is done is done.

It became darker and darker, but that is nothing to Ravly.

Then, he smelled someone. Smelled.

He also heard someone. Something... Strange.

But he smelled an otherwordly being. But he listened to a haunting voice. A dark shadow became closer and closer, creating haunting voices.

„I shall haunt you.“ whispered a voice.

„I will get my revenge.“ whispered another voice.

„SAVE ME!!!“ screamed a doe.

„I will kill you.“ whispered an another doe voice.

The sounds became closer. Ravly looked around, searching for the voices’ owners. But only darkness and shadows became closer. The figures of deer... But not deer.

„Ravly, come to me, save me!“ screamed a distant doe voice again.

„Don’t come, Ravly, if you know what’s good for you.“ said a voice.

„Your blood will taste good... Your flesh is sweet...“ said a sly, engrossing voice.

„NOOOO!!!“ screamed the doe.

A feeling wanted to suffocate Ravly. The overpowering fear. The shadows became closer and closer, the voices nearer and nearer...

„Come here, Ravly. I’m only your friend. Remember what I told you? You’re my best friend.“ said a familiar voice. A voice of... Ravly’s killed ’friend’.

„GO AWAY!“ screamed Ravly. „YOU TRAITOR, YOU’RE TRYING TO HAUNT ME! IT’S ONLY MY MIND!“

He wanted to believe that. But the ghostly figure of his friend came out.

„No, Ravly. I am now haunting you. For all, you really couldn’t forgive me? I was your friend...“ asked the ghost.

„No. You were a traitor, a betrayer. Go away, impostor, back to your filthy grave.“ said Ravly with a disgusted voice.

„Hahahahaa! You think you can get rid of me that easy? Think over, dear Ravly! Think whom I’ve murdered, your once lost ’love’, your crush you almost loved. The scream of her was nice...“ spoke the ghost with an irritating voice.

For Ravly, it was enough. He dashed towards the damned being and pointed it with his antlers. But then...

All memories rolled back to him... And he lived those all through again...

The screams of the doe he almost loved...

The laughs of his betrayer. His ’friend’.

Dead trees. The burned place of a once his dear forest.

The confession of crimes of the traitor.

The killing of his ’friend’.

All that... He saw it again.

„STOP IT!“ screamed Ravly. It stopped.
„You... Damned... Asshole!“ breathed Ravly, hard.

But the traitor only laughed. Laughed an unhappy laugh.

„If I find a way how to kill you, then I will!“ said Ravly angryily, with true hatred.

„No need. You can do it now.“ said the ghost, who turned from transparent to a real deer, from flesh and blood. Nothing else than him and Ravly, all else was darkness.

Ravly dashed forward and tried to stab the traitor. It only hopped into the side with a laugh. Ravly swinged his antlers then. It hit the side of the deer... Blood was bleeding, running through the betrayer’s fur. But he didn’t hesitate, he went towards and stabbed Ravly’s chest with it’s pointy antlers. Ravly screamed of pain... And he heard the scream of the doe. Pain runned through his chest, but he tried to pull his hooves towards, what were weak. Ravly hit the traitor’s face and it’s antlers came out of Ravly’s chest, and the deer clumsily going backwards. Ravly grumbled from great pain. He was bleeding hard. Blood was falling on the floor, if there was a floor. Ravly saw the traitor being weak as well, and rushed forwards, with true hatred, and stabbed it’s face, and pulled it out. Pieces flew of the face, and blood flew. But Ravly had no mercy on the hated one. He swing and the remains of the head flew away. Blood rolled on the floor, and Ravly turned his head away. Why did he had to live this all through again? Why? He saw fire falling on the traitor, burning the blood and the body. Flames rose high... And Ravly felt death fear by the eyes of the fire. And he run away.

There was a blinding light and...

Ravly woke at The Endless Forest. There were no wounds to be found on him. It was still dark and raining. Was it a dream? Or not? But there was blood on the floor... Whose blood?

I told you a part of the secret, but the rest is still uncovered. Because secrets are endless, even in a peaceful forest.

...What have you done for that curse, Ravly, what?
